I also just read that if you pull the net up slow fewer baits will get gilled.

Really? Never thought about that. Did they discuss the reasoning? I don't pull up fast anyway just because I worry about taking care of the bait from the start of the netting process right on through.
Just more force on the bait to the net I guess. He didn't say. Net full of bait can get heavy on the bottom ones. Maybe they freak more and and swim till they get gilled.
I haven't tried real slow yet. Usually in a hurry racing the sun.
Ha! I know about that race! I still go slow and steady when coming up and hope for no bass or crappie..
